Picture Melodrama 
With Beautiful Star 


Dolores Costello in Warner Bros. 
“Old San Francisco” is the attrac- 


tion: dt the Gem Theatre Friday and 


Saturday of this week, January 27 
and 28. And “Old San Francisco” 
is a thrilling melodrama of the 
colorful days before the great fire 
when the glamorous city of the Gold- 
en Gate had a Barbary Coast, 
known as the “mile of hell,” and a 
Chinatown which burrowed deep in 
the earth and hid a thousand grue- | 
some secrets, 

The story has to do with a Spanish 
heiress who is kidnapped by a half- 
caste ‘bosg of the underworld and 
offered for sale in a subterranean 
auction room dim with the fumes 
of the poppy and garish with teak 
and sandalwood and gilded dragons. 
There is a burning story of love and 
unselfish devotion, and the climax, 
one of the most terrific ever pic- 
tured, is the ‘‘great fire” which 
ended the sway of the underworld. 

Dolores Costello is glorious as the 
wronged and vengeful senorita, and 
Warner Oland, as the sinister boss 
is superb. Alan Crosland’s direction 
shows rare understanding and the 
photography smacks of wizardry 
Among the greatest of bistoric 
drama is “Old San Francisco.”

The initial stages of this gigantic financial battle are now being waged

channels of navigation between the present head of ocean navigation at 
Montreal, and the head of tie Lakes ports of Port Arthur and Fort William, 
out the more vital concern of these financial magnates is centered in and up- 


on the development of the huge water-powers which will be made available | 


as part of this canal construction. 


The West, on the other hand, is more concerned about the greater water- | 


ways feature and the effect which the deepening of the water channels be~ 
tween the head of the Great Lakes and the Atlantic seaboard will have on 
freight rates, both by watcr and rail, on the huge exportable, surplus of 
Western products, 

So far as the Great Lakes-St. Lawrencé project 18 corncerhed, it is not 
wholly a domestic matter for Canada. It is an international matter, inasmuch 
as a portion of the St. Lawrence belongs jointly to Canada and the United 
States, and the construction of the proposed deep cahal system Will affect | 
approximately forty million of the people of the neighboring republic. 

Eastern financial interests, whose real concern is to secure private con- 
trol of the vast water-powers to be developed, are busy raising the bugaboo | 
of United States interference in Canadian affairs, United States control or 
Canadian resources, and are urging all the possible dangers of entangling 
alliauees. The old, worn-ovt stock arguments used at the time of the 
Reciprocity campaign are beginning to be trotted out once more, the Old Flag 
is to be waved, and all and sundry who do not see eye to eye with the finan- 
cial magnates looking with a covetous eye of this wealth of water-powers are 
to be classified as traitors to the Dominion. 

There is some evidente, too, that, as on former occasions when questions 
of great national moment were up for discussion and decision, attempts will 
be mYade to cloud’the real issue Ly again raising despicable cries of race and 
creed, and seeking to set oue section of the Dominion against another. 


Too trequently in the past, with great national policies at stake, the 


RS “eer Fens have allowed themsalves.to..be swayed by these cries and}, 
have nn the victims of their own shortsightedness and foolishness in 


giving heed to such unworthy appeals. Now that Canada has largely put 
these things into the background and is moving forward to a development and 
prosperity unsurpassed in its past history, it is to be sincerely. hoped that any 
and all such ignoble attempts will receive no quarter from the overwhelming 
mass of the Canadian people; that, as a people, they will put their foot down, 
and: put it down hard, upon any such campaign, the originators of which are

F THE NEW Cf 


’ IN OUR SHOWROOMS ON 


Wednesday, February Ist 


The New Car will fulfill the promise 
of a singular achievement in light 


car manufacture. 


Bassano, Cluny and Gleichen, Alberta 


~The New Ford Car 


The new Ford car goeg on display in Roy §mith’s 


show rooms Bassano, for the first time on Wednesday, 
lat. Known as the model “A” it replaces the model “T” 


we-Whieh for nineteen years made automotive history, and 


comprises a line of six passenger models supplemented by 
light delivery and truck models. 

Pleasing appearance, a wide range of bright color 
combinations, great power, high speed, great flexibility, 
roadability, unusual get-away, economical operation, and 
rugged, simplified construction, are cited as outstanding 
features of the long awaited car. Design and construc- 
tion hitherta peculiar to high priced machines are said 
to be incorporated in the new product. 


The lines of the new Ford are distinctive. The 
wheelbase is 108), inches, and the lower suspension and 
deeply crowned gracefully contoured one-piece fenders 
are pleasing to the eye, and suggest stability. Bodies 
are of all steel construction, and the new type of one- 
piece, steel spoke wheel employing a drop-centre _ tire 
and eliminating the old fashioned rim and rim clamps is 
employed. A selective sliding gear transmission is used 
with a multéple dry @isc clutch, and the rear axle is of 
the three quarter floating type with spiral bevel gears 
permanently adjusted and noisless. Full torque tube 
drive, which relieves springs of all driving strain, is 
featured, and four wheel mechanically actuated, internal 
expanding brakes have been incorporated in the new 
product. Throughout the design of the car ease and 
quietness of operation, great strength and accessibility 
of all parts have been kept in mind. According to Ford 
officials the purpose back of the new car is to provide a 
small car which will incorporate all light car advantages 
with the features of comfort, speed, and gafety heretofore 
peculiar to heavy and expensive machines. This, they 
confidently assert, has been accomplished in the new 
model “A” Ford. 

The four cylinder power plent of the new Ford de- 
velops 40 horsepower at 2,200 revolutions a minute. This 
is practically double the power of its predecessor, but 
this great increase in power has been effected without 
sacrifice of economy, and it is claimed that the new car 
will afford thirty or more miles to the gallon of gasoline. 
This remarkable increase of power is effected through 
use of a larger cylinder bore, by static and dynamit 
balancing of flywheel and crankshaft, and by the use of 
light reciprocating parts. ‘The new motor is practically 
vibrationless owing to the careful balancing of these 
parts. The model ‘A’ motor incorporates a number of 
upusuel features of design which have been born of 
years of experiment. Most of these features make for 
long life, simplified service and more economical main- 
tenance, 

Unusual performance unprecedented in the light car 
field is claimed for the new Ford model “A.” It will 
attain a speed in excess of sixty miles per hour, and may 
be held at that speed for long periods without discomfort 
to passengers or injury to the mechanism. It has been 
driven at more than forty miles an hour in intermediate 
gear. It manoeuvres with great ease, negotiates the 
roughest roads at speed without undue bedy motion, 
holds on a sharp unbanked curve at 45 miles per hour, 
and has a turning radius of only 17 feet. 

Production at present is centering upon the Tudor 
model. Other models will) be available later.

an wnprejudiced neweomer—an ex-— 
tract from an address by T. G. Made- 
wick, federal petroleum engineer, he- 
fore the annual meeting of the Cen- 


eral Alberta Oil and Gas Assoelation. 


“There is no quéstion of the ol!

of your convictions to gee *that such 
developments are not stifled for want 
of necessary funds, the brains,.and 
the men Or are you~ evntent to

“All important oil rescarsés nowa- 
days are the subject of international 
concern. All eyés are on Alberta 
now. The chances of discovery of 
‘resh oil fiéldg in the world is now 
small. The field that offers, in. my 
opiniot, the greatest hopes fur the 
future is in Canada.”

Worse Than War 

Whatever else may happen during 
1928 i: is a practical certainty that 
more than 25,000 Americans will be 
killed in traffic accidents, and an- 
other 750,000 injured. 

It is strange that the awful death 
toil of automobiles does not serve as 
a warning to automobile drivers and 
pedestriang alike, but it appearg that 
it does not. While a slight lessening 
of the accident rate in proportion to 
the number of cars in use has been 
noted, the total number of casualties 
has steadily increased. 


Many persong who worry over 
germs or minor dangers of other 
sorts will take chances on the high- 
ways which are bound to sooner or 
later end in disaster. 


As recent statistics show, three 
times as many casualties result from 
automobile accidents in a single 
year as were suffered by United 
States forces during the entire 
world war. The war cost more lives 
but tie automobile is responsible for 
more injured..

“Putting the world-in the position 
of a man with a pension, who pro- 
verbially never dies ,is the ultimate 
goal of science,” Dr. Louis Faugeraus 
Bishop, of Fordham’ University, de- 
clared in predicting a life cycle of 
100: ‘years. 

“It can’t be done,” replied in effect, 
Dr. Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller | 
Institute, who argued that early death 
is the price we pay for being such bio- 
logically complicated creatures. The, 
artificial methods which have improv- 
ed the crops ‘of the flelds, made fieet- 
er horses, more industrious hens, more 
delicious fruits and beautiful flowers 
camnot be applied to the multi-celled 
organism of man, he asserted. 

‘“Why do it if we could?” asked Dr. | 
Cc, C, Little, president of the Univer- 
sity of Michigan, and president of the 
conference, His thesis was that fos- 
tering longevity would merely in- 
erease the burden of first rate men of 
taking care of the less favored. De- 
generacy would be increased as man 
passed his defects along to future 
generations. 

But Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk, of the 
Life Extension Institute, showed that 
it could be done—-that medical science 
in the past 400 years had proved it | 
by adding thirty-years to the ayerage 
lifetime. 

“There is no kiown limit to what 
man’s intelligence may effect in the 
way of life-lengthening,” he said posi- 
tively. { 

He took issue with Dr, Little’s pre-

Genius At Making Violins 
Has Gone To Europe In Search Of 
Wine Woods 

Nicholas Vasich, a ‘young violin 
maker, who was “discovered” a year 
ago in Seattle, Wash., by Mischa 
Elman, has sailed for France to be- 
gin a six months’ search among old 
cathedrals and churches of France 
and Germany for the finest violin 
woods money can buy. When he re- 
turns Vasich will convert this ma- 
terial into a quartette, consisting of 
two violins, a viola and a cello, for El- 
man, 

Vasich said here that he expects 
to find most of the wood he wants in 
old organs. Wood for the violins is 
already at hand, and he has tentative-

Rich Treasures Found 


One Of Most Remarkable Graves

Rich in treasures, and strewn with
